Questions:
We have a lot of old VAX BASIC programs which were originally written to send output to files or queues to LA120 matrix printers. Our LA120 printers have almost all died. We just bought a HP workgroup printer which is only networked by means of a TCP/IP
address. When I ask our programmers to assign a VMS queue to that printer, and modify the BASIC programs to print to that printer, they say that they don't know how. Can you tell me how to do this? Thanks.

|
Use a product such as DIGITAL TCP/IP Services (UCX) to configure an
LPR queue to the LPD server in the printer. The resulting queues
appear and operate similarly to most other OpenVMS device queues.
One can use logical names that match the old queue names to redirect
the output to the new queues, or one can recode or patch the program
to reference the new queue names.
